Ill. Cop Indicted for Payroll Fraud

The U.S. attorney's office in Chicago said 42-year-old Robert Aponte defrauded his employers by receiving inflated wages from his private security side jobs. Federal prosecutors claim he submitted time sheets that falsely overstated the hours he had worked between January 2009 and September 2011.

Some of the security shifts Aponte worked at several low-income public housing properties overlapped with shifts he worked at Safety Training and Tracing, a company that provides traffic control services at the BP Refinery in Whiting, according to the indictment.

This reminded me of a Police Officer where I grew up working a special duty assignment for ten years and even got a few positive letters for doing a good job. He wwas paid for that traffic job for ten years. It turned out he had never showed up even once.
